Lock Manager Errors

Error 1203

Error 1203

Severity

20

Error message text

Caller of lock manager is incorrectly trying to unlock an unlocked object. spid=%d locktype=%d dbid=%d object id or page number=%ld.

Explanation

Before the Lock Manager tries to unlock an object, it checks to make sure the object is in fact locked. When an object is not locked during this check, Error 1203 occurs.

This error is usually due to an Adaptive Server problem which causes an incorrect session descriptor pointer or logical page number to be passed to the Lock Manager.

Error 1203 can occur during an insert, update, or select, particularly on a table with an index.

Action

Call Sybase Technical Support.
